This looks like a string coming from libvirt. When setting CGroups, from
virCgroupSetValueRaw() which seems to be called (transitively) from
virCgroupV2SetCpuCfsPeriod().

This string doesn't appear in our code base.

If you don't provide more context from the log I don't think we can help
you, sorry. If there isn't more context (which I doubt, because at least
common log line prefix was stripped) then set up debug logs, paste them
somewhere and provide us with the link.
